Thursday 18 July, 2019 Written by Simon Collyer

The London Legal Support Trust, the organisation behind the The National Pro Bono Centre, based at 48 Chancery Lane, London WC2A 1JF do fantastic work helping those who cannot afford legal representation.

You can join in and give them your support.

London Legal Walkies Saturday 21^st September

The furriest fundraising event returns in September. Grab your pet pooch and join them for a 5km stroll in Greenwich Park. Last year canine crusaders raised an impressive £4,000 for frontline free legal advice services. The walk commences at 10am and concludes at a dog friendly pub nearby. Lend your paws to the cause and sign up here.

Walk the Thames – 19^th October

Get your running shoes (or walking boots on) and join The London Legal Support Trust for a walk down the River Thames this October. The route runs from Tower Bridge to Hampton Court – you can opt to take on a half or full marathon. The morning runners are led by Lord Justice Haddon-Cave and the afternoon walkers by Lord Justice Gross, though some are led to sample the finest watering holes the Thames path has to offer. What could be better than taking in London’s beautiful scenery while raising money for access to justice? For more information, please click here.

Theres no excuse. Get those walking shoes on, and get pounding the pavement for a very worthy cause.

And for the diary: Pro Bono Week will take place this year from 4 to 8 November 2019, returning for its 18th year to the traditional timing of the first full week of November.

Pro Bono Week provides an opportunity to encourage and recognise the voluntary contribution of lawyers in giving free legal help to those in need.
